I'm interning this spring as a science writer for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and my first story was just published :) www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation...

Uproot member @ashleydsouza.bsky.social spoke with @ksjatmit.bsky.social Fellow and founding member of The Uproot Project, @ycabreraoc.bsky.social, about the highs and lows of covering the environmental beat. ksj.mit.edu/news/2026/01...

Feeling so happy and grateful because @aaww-nyc.bsky.social's The Margins has nominated my piece, Unholy, for a Pushcart Prize. :) <3 aaww.org/unholy/

I made a podcast about Miyawaki mini-forests that was featured in Brookline.News! Check it out here :)

Bee hotels!!! Back in September, I wrote about cool bee research happening at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies @vtecostudies.bsky.social 🐝 scopeweb.mit.edu/bees-check-i...

“For too long, science journalism has been treated as something distinct, something extra — the domain of specialists writing for audiences who are already deeply interested in and informed about science. This is bad," writes @siricarpenter.bsky.social

"If news outlets only rely on muscle memory and continue doing things exactly as they always did, they will not survive or thrive," @samjmintz.bsky.social writes. "But many of the basic rhythms are important to re-establish."

I hung out with a garter snake in the sanctuary for 30 minutes while working on this story, but she did not say anything memorable for me to quote 🐍

It's turkey time! (My latest bird-related piece)

Two poems of mine were just published in "Journal IX: Urban Elegy" by Writers Without Margins. "Flowers" was inspired by a dream I had, and "Mass" was inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumbs's book, "Undrowned". 🐋

one of my favorite stories I've worked on so far
